The Pittsburgh Steelers have in recent years become a team who holds a preference for carrying six wide receivers over their 53-man roster, though one of them is typically geared more toward participating on special teams, with one of them being inactive under normal circumstances.
With last week’s waiver of veteran Donte Moncrief, they are down to five, however, and two of them—Ryan Switzer and Johnny Holton—only have small or virtually non-existent roles on offense. The passing game, at least as far as the wide receiver position goes, has been driven almost entirely by their top three guys.
